Do not talk about your riches in front of the impoverished Do not talk about your good health in front of the sick. Do not talk about your power in front of the weak. Do not talk about the joys of your life in front of those afflicted. Do not talk about your freedom in front of those captured. Do not talk about your children in front of those who cannot have any. Do not talk about your parents in front of the orphans, for their wounds cannot withstand more pain. Weigh your words, and understand their impact on others. For one day shall dawn upon you that you will be alone in your agony. Do not mock others’ trials, so others can be there for you when you are yourself afflicted.”
